City Council and ARHA board to meet Thursday on CEO search, maintenance, and finances

Interim chief executive Roy O. Priest's term was described as about six months when he started in July. The permanent job was posted Oct. 1 without a deadline.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — City Council and the board of the Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority will meet Thursday for a joint work session covering governance, the search for a permanent chief executive, evictions, property maintenance and the authority's finances — a list that tracks closely with the problems that led Council to force out ARHA's entire board a year ago.

The session runs from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29, at the Del Pepper Community Resource Center, 4850 Mark Center Drive, in the café. It is open to the public and can be joined by Zoom with advance registration.

The two-page agenda lists topics without supporting materials. Under governance, it names a "comprehensive attestation review" and the timeline for ARHA's chief executive search. Under property management, it lists eviction mitigation and tenant stability, property management and maintenance, a Housing Choice Vouchers update and an update on The Alate. The agenda also includes resident engagement and transparency, and a fiscal outlook.
